Silk City Flick Fest – Ironically, my Cubs film will wait ’til next year

Tyler Colvin’s debut last night was pretty smooth, impressive and the future looks bright. Watching the game right now and working on my film festival. Don’t generally put things in here outside of Cubs baseball unless I’m really excited about it….this is one of those things.

I am organizing a film festival in my hometown of Manchester, CT for Columbus Day Weekend, Oct 8-11. A film I’m in is screening and about 75 other films that were submitted are screening as well. Here is the website for more information here. The festival is called the Silk City Flick Fest after the silk mills the town is famous for and it’s going to be an amazing feat to pull off. Four days of filmmaker panels, screenings, galas and awards. Living in New York it’s been tough to contribute as much as I’d like but the people working on it back home have put together quite a lineup. The schedule is listed on-line and more information is being listed every day. I’m doing a film on the Cubs for next year’s festival and working out the exact angle I’ll take. Would want to do something different than what’s been done before.

Here are a couple of trailers to a films that will screen. The first is A New Wave starring John Krasinski from NBC’s The Office and Lacey Chabert from Mean Girls. The second is a horror film called Kids Get in Woods…Kids Get Dead. Brilliant title. Check out the trailers and if you happen to live in the New England/CT area and are looking for something to do Columbus Day Weekend this year, come check out the festival. And when you find me, let’s have a beer and put the Cubs ’09 season to bed! More to come later this evening or tomorrow on the most recent Cub headlines. Here are the trailers:
